Got the case hardware yellow zinc plated. Thanks to this post by ErrorMargin (https://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/1164377-1st-batch-parts-back-zinc-plating.html#post12285151), I used Cadillac Plating.

I think it was $60 for the batch and took about 3 days.

No issues and the parts came out great!

They did an ok job on the parts that weren't too crusty. I had to chase the threads on everything because they plated over some of the rust. If I used them again, I would do a "pre-clean". But satisfactory for $100 for everything.



Got everything sorted using calipers and a combination of photos with handwritten notes with stud dimensions from the parts manual.



All installed! I didn't have anything left over, which is unusual for me, but I was extremely methodical...



Also checked to make sure the piston squirters were working. Had a little trouble with the squirter for the #2 piston (not pictured), but got it cleared.
